Angry Mom Accidentally Texts 35-Year-Old Guy Instead Of Her Daughter, And Things Escalate Quickly
20.5Mviews
A 35-year-old man from Wisconsin was enjoying his day off from work recently when a text suddenly appeared in his inbox. “Hunny please grab milk and lunch meet on your way home,” read the message. Given that the man, who goes by the name of velakskin, was already at home, and given that he didn’t recognize the number, he figured that the sender had obviously contacted the wrong person. Despite repeatedly trying to convince them of this however, the sender refused to believe that they weren’t talking to Jess, their own 18-year-old daughter. And as you can see below, things escalated pretty quickly…

I hope Jess inherited 0% of her mother's intelligence.
And also 0% of here parenting methods.
and now we know what drove jess to use drugs. poor girl.
Don't worry, 100% would be zero too.
LMAO 😂
ROFL
LOL
Let's use some of our own intelligence, and think critically about the story, shall we? 1. Mom keys in her daughter's number and is immediately told that she got it wrong. 99.9% of people would check the number at the top of the conversation, realize the mistake, and move on. 2. Mom is given pictures of the other person and told multiple times the number is wrong. This is where the other 0.1% would stop and check for a mistake. 3. Hard to believe Mom doesn't have her daughter's number already in contacts, but even if not, she should have previous messages from her daughter. If she even checked her other conversations, she would immediately realize the mistake. 4. Instead of taking 3 seconds to check, Mom (over a period of two hours) does the following: Accuses her daughter of using drugs (again!), reminds her daughter of her own birth date, cancels her daughter's credit card, and calls her friend's mom to find out what's going on. During all of this, she can't check the number?
I know a president that would react like that... and worse... and then tweet about it and call the other person a loser
While I admit that there's a strong possibility that this is staged or otherwise faked, I know people that would react similarly to this. It's a combination of narcissism and just plain being an asshole with a short fuse. The narcissism makes them think that they do no wrong, not even dial a wrong number, and it makes them think that almost everyone in the world is out to get them somehow. In my experience this goes 10-fold for those closest to them. They'll accuse their spouse and/or children of maliciously trying to make them look bad or of trying to insult them. Often it's over little, innocent mistakes or even over small talk. Not having her daughter's number saved is weird, and I'll agree that that alone does tip the scales toward it being staged, but make no mistake' there are people in the world that act and react exactly like this.
My mom doesn't save contacts in her phone and it drives me crazy!!! Not only that, I'm guessing that Joel has not had any close relationships with people experiencing mental or emotional disorders (more extreme than depression and/or anxiety). There are a lot of people out there who would find it very reasonable to think and respond the way this mom does in these text messages. Whether it's a result of being abused/manipulated in their past or maybe some type of personality disorder. Either way, it was entertaining. I don't understand why you're getting so worked up about it...
It is a completely unbelievable story. She carries on for two hours doing everything in the world except taking three seconds to look at the number at the top of her screen. After all of her completely bizarre behavior toward a completely understanding party on the other end of the line--when she is finally confronted with the mistake--what does she do? Why, she suddenly starts swearing like some kind of coked-up hooker who just got stiffed, punched in the tits, and told to walk home. This isn't a Mom who is stupid or unreasonable, no. This is a Mom who acts like some kind of weird, angry robot, who can only send text messages, and who can't check a phone number or receive a call to confirm who she is speaking to. In short, this is not the behavior of an actual person. It is a contrived character. She was designed to make you angry at her, to make you want to share this story on your wall. Why? Because then boredpanda.com gets more visits and more ad revenue.
Annie Martin: I did consider this. There certainly are people who won't believe they are capable of making a mistake, even when confronted with strong evidence to the contrary. Things that make it less plausible: Mom doesn't have her daughter in contacts. Mom thinks people in the photo are Brad's family, but upon calling Brad's mom, doesn't figure it out. When it seems she is finally starting to question the situation, instead of just calling her daughter directly, she drives home from work in the middle of the day. An hour earlier, Dad was supposed to have been home for lunch, so she also could have called Dad to see what was going on. This behavior doesn't make sense for an actual person, but it makes perfect sense in the context of a fictional piece--she can't call her daughter or her husband, because that would remove the central conflict and ruin the story. Additionally, interactions seem contrived: (But you love ham! But you were 11 years old! Are you on drugs again? Etc.)
Such an interesting group of comments which I believe boil down to 1) This is unbelievable. No one is THAT obtuse and this smacks of a staged conversation designed as click-bait, or, 2) Regrettably, and as hard to believe as it may seem to people who are awake and aware, there are people like this and this conversation is genuine. I'm most decidedly in the latter camp. I would have been more reluctant to put myself in that camp because, until late, I tended to believe most people were far more aware. A recent news report, which is emblematic of so many similar ones, provides a way to share why I reassessed things on that count. A couple of days, at a "campaign (read make money) event, Donald Trump bragged about the huge crowd that had shown up any the auditorium. And there were insanely long lines of people waiting to get inside. Photos from other in attendance showed many empty seats. And yet, the very people in the auditorium chose to believe trump, not their eyes.
While I agree with you, there is a slight, very slight possibility that the mother's been played before by this particular child. the mom could be under a lot of stress and didn't think about what you mentioned, about checking to see if it was her daughter. if so, then perhaps the kid needs to not do anything like this for awhile, and the mother needs to learn what to do to lessen that stress. at any rate, glad this guy has a sense of humor, some wouldn't have taken to joking with her.
Joel Lee you really are a warrior for rationality and critical thinking. But I fear you may be swimming upstream against a current of ignorance and desperate desire to believe the absolute worst in people. I very much admire your perseverance and patience though. Hope you don't become too jaded and that you keep at it!
I hope Jess inherited 0% of her mom's values
Poor Jess
There was 0 intelligence to be inherited from the mother, Id say. God I feel for Jess, I would be on drugs too if I had a mom that dense. imagine what all Jess has had to try to explain to her throughout life, to no avail.
i have never seen so many upvotes on boredpanda :O
I think Jess is pretty much like her mother. If that is the case, then the fruit really don't fall that far from the trees. I swear this woman sounds high but that's just me. I don't know.
I have never seen so many upvotes before
There actually was NOTHING to inherit there hahaha
I'm pretty sure her mother has 0 IQ anyways, so...
People who don't exist usually do have an IQ of 0.
I had the same thought right off. Plus one would hope Jess doesn't learn any of this mother's horrible manners. I also hope Jess can read better & has learned to tell the difference between a photo of a total stranger & a photo of the mom.
Lemonsito.lmao what intelligence?oh, lol researchers claim children get their intelligence from the mother.
well she is a millennial......... so either way she 's can't be fixed
I'm soooo sorry for that kid of hers. He must go through hell with a witch like that as a mother.
She*
"She*" — how can we be sure? maybe mom is wrong on that too...
True!
Sir, that is offensive to witches.
I stand corrected, good sir
Hey watch the witch cracks we are good people.
Sorry about the 'witch' comment. Would 'bitch' be more apropo?
Not all witches are good. There are indeed some nasty and fucked up ones. Many are amazing people. (But I can't stand Satanists, either, who say AAAALLL Satanists are good and don't even believe in a "Satan". Well, guess what? Some Satanists do; & sacrifice and eat children, etc.).. So not ALL witches are good people. & Yes-I consider myself a very witchy woman. Just sayin'. LOL
What makes you think 'Jess' is male? I think 'Jess' is that witch's daughter.
I don't get how the word "daughter" could have made someone else think Jess is a son or a male.
Maybe the mother was that dumb that didn't know jess was a boy
I was actually womdering whether the guy should forward the texting to the police as possible child abuse.
I don't think that would work in the US
This woman is no witch. Noone in the pagan community acts like that
There are people like that in every community. Delusion is definitely a trait of the pagans, but there are bitchy pagans just like there are bitchy anything else.
True!
My mind is blown that the mother could be so stubborn and soooooooooooooo stupid!
Don't forget lazy too :)
Not to mention fictional
Don't forget Pharisaicaly self-righteous.
My mind is blown that you believe this actually happened.
Oh I soooo believe there are people like this. I've known therm--closely.
I hope Jess inherited 0% of her mother's intelligence.
